OpenVPN: Mac client not connecting to Xubuntu Server

Question

I've been trying to configure a VPN connection between a server running on Xubuntu 14.04, and the client running on Mac OSX Yosemite with no luck. I'm trying to make the connection with Tunnelblick. My Firewall LOG has no relevant information to post. I have opened ports 1194, 443, and 943 for the Mac. I can't quite seem to crack the problem. I will appreciate all help, I don't want to be defeated by this.

Here is the SERVER.CONF:
